Use an existing connection

Select this check box and in the Component List click the relevant connection component to
reuse the connection details you already defined.

Property type

Either Built-in or Repository
.

Built-in: No property data stored
centrally.

Repository: Select the repository
file in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are
completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Host

Database server IP address.

Port

Listening port number of database server.

Username and Password

Database authentication data.

To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes

Schema and Edit
Schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields
(columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark
Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the
fields.

Built-in: The schema is created
and stored locally for this component only. For more information,
see
Talend Studio User
Guide.

Repository: The schema already
exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused. For
more information, see
Talend Studio User Guide.

Click Edit
schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

• View schema: choose this
  option to view the schema only.

• Change to built-in property:
  choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.

• Update repository connection:
  choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether
  to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to
  propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata
  again in the Repository Content
  window.

Table Name

Name of the table to be written. Note that only one table can be
written at a time.

Query Type

Either Built-in or Repository.

Built-in: Fill in manually the
query statement or build it graphically using SQLBuilder.

Repository: Select the relevant
query stored in the Repository. The Query field gets accordingly
filled in.

Guess Query

Click the Guess Query button to
generate the query which corresponds to your table schema in the
Query field.

Query

Enter your database query paying particularly attention to
properly sequence the fields in order to match the schema
definition.

Die on error

This check box is cleared by default. This means that Die on error skips the row when an error
is encountered and completes the process for rows without
errors.

Additional JDBC Parameters

Specify additional connection properties in the database
connection you are creating. This option is not available if you
have selected Use an existing
connection check box in the Basic settings.

Propagate QUERY’s recordset

Select this check box to insert the result of the query into a
column of the current flow. Select this column from the use column list.

Commit every

Number of rows to be completed before committing batches of rows
together into the database. This option ensures transaction quality
(but not rollback) and above all better performance on
executions.

Use PreparedStatement

Select this check box if you want to query the database using a
PreparedStatement. In the Set
PreparedStatement Parameter table, define the
parameters represented by “?” in the SQL instruction of the
Query field in the Basic Settings tab.

Parameter Index: Enter the
parameter position in the SQL instruction.

Parameter Type: Enter the parameter
type.

Parameter Value: Enter the
parameter value.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level.

Global Variables

QUERY: the query statement being processed. This is a Flow
variable and it returns a string.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error check box is
cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable
functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl +
Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see
Talend Studio

User Guide.
